Nice hotel

My husband and I stayed at the number nine for one night because we extended our time in Florence and our original hotel was fully booked. The location is convenient to many of Florence's sights, but it is a little bit busy and congested for my personal taste. The reception staff is excellent and gave a great reccomendation for lunch nearby. As for the room, I think we were given the same room as the previous reviewer---what the hotel called a "penthouse" with a view of the Duomo. While comfortable, the room was kind of odd. There is an entryway with steps up to the bedroom area. Then there are steps leading down a narrow hall to a bathroom. I'm pretty sure my husband nearly killed himself on the steps in the middle of the night! I will say that the bed was very comfortable though.

Breakfast was very nice but with the usual mix offered in most European hotels. The best part of the hotel for us was the gym next door. Use of the gym is included in the price of the room and it was as close to a "real" gym as I have come across in Italy. For this reason alone, I would return to this hotel.More

Great breakfast, comfy beds and very very helpful staff. We stayed during our honeymoon. Location is within minutes from the main train station (walk is about 6 mins) and all of the main sights. The hotel staff helped us book a reservation to the Uffizi gallery after our travel company / local tour guide dropped the ball doing so. For a new hotel, there are some minor cosmetic blemishes, but these are mostly cosmetic.

My wife and I stayed here for the last night on our honeymoon, both to explore Florence on foot and to be closer to the airport than we were in Tuscany.

The location was phenomenal! We were only a few blocks from the markets in one direction, the Duomo in another, and many restaurants on all sides. The hotel was well-decorated, service was great, and our Penthouse had a one-of-a-kind view of the Duomo.

While a bit pricey for our room (my only change in hindsight), I thought the value was strong and was very comfortable on all fronts.

When I first entered this hotel..I was totally impressed by the architect and interior design...but to top that off...the staff was truly amazing. They met us at the door and immediately started assisting us! Our room was on the third floor with awesome views of the domes in Florence! I could see church steeples and tile roofs like you imagine you would see in Italy. Our room was very comfortable and spacious. Bed slept super and the bath was big where you could move around and enjoy. The shower had great pressure as well as a towel warmer that made the experience the best it could be! The complimentary breakfast each morning was also a total delight! I am very picky with my food..so to have a HUGH selection was amazing! Again the staff was there at every turn and wanted to make sure I was not lacking at all with anything...they also were there with smiles on their faces to make the day start super good! My husband and I walked mostly everywhere in Florence...and where this hotel is located...it's very easy to get anywhere you want to go and get back because all you have to do is look for the BIGGEST dome in Florence..and that is where the hotel is closely located...so it was pretty impossible to get lost! Across the street is also a wonderful pottery place where we were able to purchase pottery to be shipped back to us and made locally by the owner of the store. This hotel was my favorite of all the hotels we stayed at while in Italy and we were there a total of 15 days traveling! I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Florence! Ciao!

Room Tip: try to get a room on the higher floors so you can see the domes of Italy!

We chose this hotel for its central location right near the Duomo. Sure enough, it was an easy stroll to all the action yet on a fairly quiet side street. The hotel staff was welcoming and professional. Since I was traveling with my teenage son, they adjusted rooms to allow for two separate beds (which were huge and very comfortable.) The bathroom was spacious with ample sink space. Breakfast included fresh fruit and tasty pastries. Florence can feel quite hectic due to crowds and this hotel was a wonderful comfortable retreat

I have just spent three days at Number 9 and have rated it 5 stars. The staff are very helpful, polite and eager to please. The modern and inviting interior design, along with vivid works of art, suggest that the owners of this hotel understand a lot about how to create a contemporary place to stay. It is modern yet feels at home in the medieval citySurrounded by old buildings and minutes from the station and Duomo, it is perfectly placed. The spa and gym facility next door is excellent. The buffet breakfast fresh and plentiful. The perfect place? Not quite, despite the five stars I have awarded. Let me explain my slight concerns:I am a technology lover with gadgets a plenty. I want technology to improve my life not to distract from it and some of the high tech features at the hotel simply are there for technology sake and do not add value to the experience. On arriving in the room the touch control air conditioning would not save any changes, which meant that we had to ring reception who 'over rode' the system. This was good but we couldn't adjust it afterwards without ringing reception. The light switches are numerous and confusing. I struggled to work out which switch corresponded to which light. A night time visit to the bathroom involved illuminating the bedroom as well. Mind you, when sat in bed, the giant headboard blocked any access to any light switch. The motion sensitive taps are fine in motorway service stations but try shaving with one!I am being a bit picky but these techno glitches detract away from the fact this hotel is very good indeed but could be astounding. Why the Philippe Starck of hotels? If you are familiar with the aesthetically beautiful space rocket shaped lemon squeezer designed by Starck then I feel sure that you either have one or would like to have one. As a design statement it is second to none and looks superb in any kitchern. Unfortunately it is not very good at squeezing lemons which is a shame because that is it's primary function. Or is it.....?Should you stay there? Yes you should. I suspect as the hotel is so new then the technology issues will be sorted. Well done number 9. I think you have the potential to become the most popular place to stay in Florence.
